They'r pretty slow, over ere in belgium, the 50cc's are what 16 year olds get to drive around limited to 15km/h, ya should look out for a 125 or the 250cc version, the 250 is frigin fast especially.
Everytime I see/hear one it's like a freakin gnat buzzing around.

I would have to shoot the thing personally.

do you see them that often?...i've never seen one in person...where do ya live?
Hell if it gets good MPG it would be a lot more fun than a scooter!
actually want it for the shifter kart track(>60mph)...and for my wife to ride to bike night (bout 3 miles)...ps thanks for dem titties :drink:
Dirt,

sadly, I live near Cheapbastard. :-(

I've seen two in my life. One in Daytona Beach a year or so ago during Bike Week. The other was three weeks ago in Germany. Both times I thought cool bike, bad sound. Real bad sound, like the bastard child of a popcorn machine and a blender with bad bearings.

While not the coolest bike in the world, I woudl suggest the SV650 for the wife bike/track bike combo. Tons of aftermarket race parts and easier/cheaper to fix if you crash it on the track.I would say that Prillia would have expensive parts on it if they needed to be replaced.

i had a little pocket racer with a 49cc engine in it. i ran the bike open HEAD and it was loud as fuck. imagine a weedwacker going off in your ear. mine did over 30mph stock and was perdy fast considering i was over 220 when i had it.

i would buy a yamaha zuma that would be fun for around town. i dont know why i think those are so cool.
